Goldfield & Banks Australia White Sandalwood is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by François Merle-Baudoin. White Sandalwood opens with Pepper and Thyme, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, and Saffron. Goldfield & Banks Australia's White Sandalwood carries a Statement verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This one's a divisive beast. Many find it an offensive, synthetic mess of screechy rose and camphor, while others praise its sophisticated, creamy sandalwood. If you love it, you'll really love it, but approach with extreme caution.

Given its strong projection and often polarising scent profile, this isn't a safe bet for the office or casual wear where you might bother others. Its bold character and potential for elegance make it better suited for formal events or date nights, provided it works with your skin chemistry.

About

White Sandalwood opens with a shock of peppery zest and aromatic thyme, quickly making way for a prominent, often challenging, rose note. The promised sandalwood struggles to emerge from this spicy floral cacophony, at best offering a dry, woody base, at worst a synthetic, medicinal edge. Amber adds a touch of warmth but can't quite soften its sharp corners.
